Reviews

TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
Murphy Howard I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
Calum Hutton It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...
Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
RNMorton The right show with the right hosts and the right ideas at the right time. So for everyone who ever said, gee I wonder if it's true that you could (fill in the blank), Hyneman and Savage came along to help out. The general format was excellent, on many levels - the bar room-type discussion and research, the preliminary explorations and commentary by the stars along the way, the excellent if under-appreciated narration by Lee, all the way to the full scale resolution. Occasionally the pacing was off, so that you got to the finale without a lot of time to fully appreciate the event but whatever. Hyneman and Savage are effective if somewhat different personalities with some fun interplay, in retrospect the inclusion of B Team members Imahara, Belleci and a very attractive Byron probably extended the life of the series for several years and gave a needed break from the two leads. All the work on this was so professionally done, the biggest issue was coming up with enough myths to explore. Sometimes the cupboard seemed a little bare (a postage stamp on a helicopter wing causing an accident, c'mon). But one of the best science shows ever and tops for background television watching.
alexandrupetrita Great entertainment for science lovers. Adam and Jamie make science fun. They interact with the audience by using volunteers for experiments and have a question and answer segment. It was great to see that they are exactly as they act on their show... a little nutty. It was great to see this show in a smaller venue so you could enjoy the entire show and not miss a thing. We've been fans of the show since its debut and I jumped at the chance to see them live. Hopefully they'll do another touring show and bring Grant, Tori, and Kari, too. Adam's personality sells the show. Jamie is a solid set piece. For fans of the show, it's a marvelous opportunity to see the Myth Busters in person. The really do behave just like the show portrays them! Adam is energetic, quirky, and never stands still. Remarkably, he seemed much more intelligent than he does on TV. Jamie is quiet and reserved. But it was fun to watch him even in the midst of the craziness carefully checking support ropes, verifying air pressure settings, and quietly calling crew members back to stage to make little safety adjustments while Adam blathered on. If you're not a fan of the show, you probably will not be among the people clapping and cheering when they bring a busted water heater out to center stage. But who am I kidding? You already love the show because you're reading this review. You will cheer for the water heater. They do a lot of good lip service for science. But they don't do much science. They parade out Newton's Second Law and, as they do so often in the TV show, interpret it incorrectly. There are a lot of good gags. And it does re-create some of the flavor of the TV show. But it left me wondering about the price of our tickets. I'm really glad I didn't buy the more expensive seats. I might have been angry.Keep it up guys!
jamest1994 What a great show. One of the very few which have managed to make science and education fun.Jamie and Adam are hilarious, and the myths (and the lengths they'll go to), are very entertaining. Watching someone blow up a cement truck with 400 pounds of C4, and trying to make diamonds with 5000 pounds of C4, how can you go wrong?! But, of course, the whole show isn't about blowing stuff up (although there wouldn't be anything wrong with that), it's about busting or confirming myths, and the results are usually very surprising.Overall, I give this show a 10 out of 10. It couldn't get much better.
abhijit_net There is no way this show be rated lower than any other TV Show ! This show is real ! it shows real things and still excites every one! As an engineer, first few series were not that good, i was kind of thinking the technical way. But once you know you have limitations in house (i.e work place for them) then its pretty good. You do have limitations every where, you can never have a perfect build. Thats what they do, make the best fit and test it. They keep getting better with every episode and every season. Season 7 episode 1 was awesome. I found that episode more entertaining than the blockbusters of that year (any year for that matter). These people are here for serious entertainment, and also will tickle your mind, as to how far can you go in the best Lab conditions! 10 out of 10 is too little for this show, as this one entertains beyond any other TV series ever can! I term them "gods of entertainment" ! And last thing is - Kari Byron is very hot !
